Great brewery with a good beer selection. I loved the outdoor space and they had a pizza spot that looked good. We didn’t get food though.

One of the best pizza’s in Cork!
Friendly service and very helpful staff!
Amazing beer garden (most of it covered, so if it rains, don’t worry)
And the beer… 🍺 it’s simply delicious (they do tasting paddles €10 for 4 small glasses), 2 onsite brews.
Have non-alcoholic beer & cider.

This bar is amazing. Delicious beer brewed on the premises, husband loved the fruity IPA. Staff are just lovely and so welcoming, and there is a wonderful beer garden with fabulous pizza made in a proper oven. So good! Just the best bar we found in Cork. And traditional Irish music on a Tuesday too! We loved it. Thanks so much for an amazing night, lovely peeps! X

Grand service and a nice selection of beers. Fairly priced, would definitely recommend to go here. There was some live music when I went, it was grand.
